I don’t have stats to speak to the validity of their claims, but I think that we parsed their comment in different ways: - number of “tornadoes due to Niña/Niño“ (my reading) - “number of tornadoes” (total for the year), with Niña&#x2F

While editing one GitHub comment I may be writing another. If you must, implement it as a link, but all else equal I’d prefer keeping the other state alive when canceling one comment-edit. Doing both is cool too, but people don’t typically

It’s not just because it’s associated with summer, quite the opposite: many of us just feel that sunset 30 minutes after work in the winter will be less depressing than the sun setting while we’re in the office. And then even more so during

I think usually they rave about Novamin, which, at least in Canada, isn’t in the Pronamel line IIRC but in other Sensodyne branded toothpastes. _EDIT: “repair and protect”_

Do the example functions (isObject, isNumber, differenceDeep, randomUUID, debounce), along with the name (“SuperUtilsPlus”), and sentences saying “utility library” and “JavaScript” really not give enough context to get an idea of what this

I’m not a huge fan of his, and maybe you’re only talking about more recent films, but Terminator and Titanic have more than “minimal cultural heft” as far as Hollywood movies go.

Didn’t downvote (can’t even downvote, wouldn’t anyway), but if I were to guess it’s that the article talks about it fairly extensively.

It depends on what one considers useful. E.g. they were also first to support the `:has()` selector/pseudo-class, which I think can be useful for avoiding JS in some cases.

But it’s not core functionality, it’s just a convenience. Making it more convenient for everybody equally is an admirable goal, but should a trivial change that makes life a bit easier for many people be scrapped just because making it easi

What a throwback. Somebody asking whether another used ATI graphics. Another person asking whether they should support PPC Macs.

Semantic nit: STC is a type checker, SWC already compiles TypeScript well. TSC does both (unless flagged to do one or the other) so it depends on what needs replacing. Why it matters: in GP’s case it sounds like compiling is the problem, so

I’ve started again. I stopped for a while because they stopped feeling novel, but when scrolling through older photos from 5+ years ago, the photos of people that had Live enabled bring me a lot more emotions.

Worst of all: the first seniors get to refactor the professor’s code.

Thanks! Donkey Kong Country felt truly next gen at the time, it makes sense that Nintendo would offer reward deals afterwards.

You’re absolutely correct, but I’d love to hear more about why Rare is an exception. Is it just because they mostly made games for SNES before N64? If so my recollection was that SquareSoft and Enix (separate at the time, IIRC) were similar

Self-reply: I see that the website links to tldraw under Job, which might be a good example to weigh the shipped size vs the same thing minified, except that it's already minified. As a tangent: this is a neat tool! :)

Do you have any strong example websites? The website you linked is very simple, I can’t see why most pages on it would benefit from using JS at all except for analytics or similar. It’s a good website, I don’t mean to make it sound otherwis

All of the comments on this post that include numbers show that using both is better than just one or the other, mostly when the code’s sufficiently large. I agree with the recommendation of one good compression algorithm vs combining multi

You’re right for the large majority of cases, but there are exceptions. These days some use canvas or WebGL, in the past some have used Flash or Java Applets/Swing. A popular app that some web developers here may use day-to-day recentl

Did your experience involve the (recommended) build step? It uses, at least last I checked, a purgeCSS step to remove unused rules and decrease the css size.

In fact, I’ve seen an extension several times: senior developers performing code review, and requesting that unnecessary, but clarifying, parens be removed. Not excessive parentheses, a single pair in a line or statement.

There’s a short thread by WalterBright in here that explains why: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38199237 The back and forth on that thread seems to result in advocating for what we’ve got: compiler (TypeScript in you

Fidgeting can make a big difference, at least it’s appeared that way in a couple sources I’ve seen referenced here in the past - failing to have those handy I found this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15681386/ No id

Ah, no in that case you did misread it. They’re saying that “private information shared with a governmental organisation should stay private” is a popular opinion. The “unpopular” and “in what world” act like a double-negative.

It’s possible that they’re simply agreeing with it.

That’s for sure why it was discontinued. I’m sad it’s gone, but I do understand I’m a minority in that feeling. I was just offering it as a counter point (from as recent as last year) to the onscreen keyboards necessitating huge phones that

iPhone mini was a thing for a while. It still has the stuck out camera but otherwise only a bit larger than the iPhone 5 from 9 years earlier. I wish they hadn’t ended it on the 13, because I also feel phones are getting too large.
